Product Description:

The CX1500-M520 embedded PC delivers scalable automation connectivity through an integrated DeviceNet fieldbus interface. Weighing a mere 190 grams, its diminutive 38x100x91mm dimensions allow for facile integration into the tightest industrial control panel spaces. Despite its compact stature, the CX1500-M520 boasts functionality to support up to 63 I/O slaves through an open-style 5-pin connector.

Robust DeviceNet communication is enabled with precision data transfer rates of 125, 250, or 500 kbaud based on application needs. System flexibility extends to I/O modes of polling, change of state, and cyclic, along with added protocol features such as heartbeat monitoring and automatic device replacement for simplified installation and maintenance. The 2kB DPRAM interface together with ISA plug-and-play further enhances trouble-free setup. Reliability remains a cornerstone through 0 to 55°C operating temperatures and -25 to 85°C storage capacity, all while upholding IEC vibration resistance standards. Max 1.8W power losses likewise stay streamlined for simple power sourcing. Electromagnetic compliance with IEC 61000 ensures robust operation even near strong electronic noise sources in industrial plants. Throughputs of up to 500 kbaud also aid real-time responsiveness under demanding production pressures.

CE and UL safety approvals give additional quality assurance, backed by premium engineering. A DeviceNet interface in such a minuscule footprint provides immense competitive value. Operators gain both scalable I/O integration and simplified machine management through the CX1500-M520’s robust protocol. When installed on press lines, conveyor controls, or assembly workcells, it keeps distributed processes seamlessly coordinated while respecting space constraints. Overall, the combination of wide operating parameters, flexible DeviceNet functionality, and diminutive size make the CX1500-M520 poised for a diversity of industrial automation control applications. It excels at network expansion without compromising on build quality or long-term reliability.
